Blow Out ? Radiohead
This is the best track on Radiohead?s first album ?Pablo Honey? and is my second favourite Radiohead song,
my first being ?Paranoid Android?.

I think that a second guitarist plays a harmonic on the high E of the 7th fret for the opening,
which is played over the chords from the verse. This may not be accurate as I?m doing it from memory,
Words
Verse One
In my mind and nailed into my heals
All the time, killing what I feel
Chorus
And everything I touch
(All wrapped up in cotton wool)
Turns to stone
(All wrapped up in sugarcoated pills)
Verse Two
I am fused, just in case I blow out
I am glued, just in case I crack out.
